    Chicken gasping for air, PLEASE HELP

    Yesterday one of my hens started gasping for air and quickly deteriorated.

    Howdy, y’all. This is a little long, but bear with me because I need insight. Some background: I have a hen that had severe round worms and nearly died. She had stopped eating because she became so weak so my vet taught me how to tune feed her until she is strong enough to eat on her own...
